Where's the Internet Gone!?

As you'll have noticed, there's not been any posts the last couple of days, as my internet decided it was having a few days off to enjoy the sun......and enjoy the racing which saw A P McCoy ride out for the last time on Saturday. Great time to cut off!

Well, the internet is back, and so will the tips be, once I've sorted tonight's meetings out. Check back soon, thanks for your patience.

Thursday's Racing UK - The Stats

The sun's still shining, there's another day full of UK horse racing......What could be better!? 
I suppose a few beers and winning bets to add to that would top it off nicely, so let's go through a few stats to try and find some winners!!

Yesterday was 'one of those days' for the tips, as 3 of the 6 hit the woodwork, and came in second. The stats post picked up a couple of winners, but hopefully today's stats can improve on that further.

Horse Racing UK - Kempton Stats

There’s plenty of racing to enjoy to begin the week in the UK, and plenty of sun to go with it, with temperatures between 16-19 degrees across the meetings on Monday, although there will be cloud around in some parts, but not much chance of rain!

Monday’s cards include jumps racing at Hexham and Kempton, and flat racing from Pontefract, and Windsor in the evening.

Chelsea v Manchester United Preview

Not long left now until the big kick-off between Chelsea and Manchester United from Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United announced yesterday, that there were injury concerns for Phil Jones, Daly Blind, Michael Carrick and Marcos Rojo, and that's far from ideal, especially since Carrick's come back into the team, United have looked much more composed in the middle of the park. 

Chelsea have Diego Costa missing with his hamstring problem, but have no other injury problems.

United come into the game off the back of a 4-2 win in the Manchester derby, and have won their last 6 Premier League games.
Van Gaal now look to have confirmed their top 4 placing for this season, and will be looking to dent Chelsea's hopes of landing their hands on the trophy, for just the 4th time. The blues need just 11 points from the remaining 7 games to secure the Premier League Title.
Chelsea haven't lost in 11 Premier League games, since their New Year's Day defeat to bitter rivals Spurs, losing 5-3 at White Hart Lane (W8 D3), but their scoring rate at present isn't great, and have only manage 2 or more goals in a game, twice in their last 7 league games. 

STATS

Chelsea have lost just one of their last 12 Barclays Premier League home games against Manchester United (W7 D4 L1).

Chelsea have scored 100 goals in 47 games this season (2.13 per game) while United have 68 in 38 matches (1.79).

United have scored 3 or more goals in 5 of their last 10 Premier League games, including 3 of the last 4.

Juan Mata has three goals and an assist in his last three Premier League games.

There have been OVER 2.5 goals in United's last 4 league games

PREDICTION

With Costa missing, and United suffering the injuries they have, I think it'll be a very tight game. Had United not lost the likes of Carrick and Blind, I'd have edged United to take the three points. But, with those injuries, I'm going for a draw.

DRAW 1-1
